I'd like to be able to record with both my Echo Indigo I/O,and the USB connection from my PodXT,at the same time.
It seems like all the sequencers I've seen only allow you to pick one source/driver for input at a time.
I dont really need or want a full on sequencer,just something that will let me record with these 2 inputs and use VST fx.
Any suggestions?
TIA...
Hosts That Can Use Multiple Input Sources At Once?

energyXT allows to select multi MIDI inputs, unfortunately the current version only allows 1 MIDI channel to be recorded per sequencer at a time. It is on the Feature Request list to implement Multi MIDI recording in a single energyXT-sequencer.

The problem must be ASIO: restricted to only one ASIO device/driver at one time I think... You need a host that can record other than ASIO inputs.
I still have CoolEditPro (now called Adobe Audition) and it can record any audio inputs simultaneously. Try it.

Yeah-I know its a limitation of ASIO...
I had known about AA,but was trying to find an alternative that didn't involve a 40MB download (I only have dial-up).
I'll look into Audio Mulch.
Sonar can use different cards for input and output-doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to be able to use multiple input sources.

keep an eye on the development of the asio4all driver which in the next version is supposed
to support multiple devices within a single driver .
check their whitepaper .

I read that Asio4All whitepaper today. Never realised that different cards might have slightly different frequencies and that indeed is a potential problem: both tracks will drift apart.
Maybe it'll do if you plug one mono analog output of the Pod into the Echo Indigo? I know... you have the digital signal and still go thru an analog wire.
But if you only got one stereo input (yours is only stereo, right?) and desperately want to record two sources, I'd split it as two mono channels: one left and one right. Or just dub the performance

I just tried this in Sonar 3 Producer:
I switched from ASIO to WDM/KS driver, and then I was able to record from 3 different soundcards at the same time, my motherboard's crappy SoundMAX integrated audio, SB Live, and M-Audio Delta 410.
In ASIO mode I can only record one card at a time. I found that, at least for me, there was not a big difference in latency or CPU usage between WDM and ASIO, so if I had to record more than one input at the same time, WDM would definitely be a viable option. YMMV.
